[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 722931, member: 46690"] I understand all the points you made, and you'll get no argument from me about any of them. The great thing about hobby photography is that it's an artistic pursuit where you get to pick the rules. I was just throwing out my own thoughts, but by no means are they admonishments. I actually enjoy those car pics. For what they are, they are very well done. I can see where someone who's taste runs decidedly towards "if it's fake, it's wrong" will take exception to them. But that sort of digital manipulation is becoming more and more the norm in product photography, adverts, etc., and if a professional does not want to cut him/herself off from that particular revenue stream it would probably behoove them to get good at it. The rest of us, though, can stick to our pedantic guns :) LOL! Yeah, horophiles can certainly be a rather opinionated buch, you're right. Funny story: I got into watches in 2016 when my wife gave me a Movado Museum Classic in steel for our 15th wedding anniversary. Up until then all I had was 20 dollar beaters, and a G-Shock that I (still) use for work where I have to know the exact time to the second.
